The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific
astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) …

The mergers of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
promising gravitational wave (GW) sources for Advanced LIGO and future GW detectors. The …

We present optical and ultraviolet spectra of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a
gravitational-wave (GW) source, the binary neutron star merger GW170817. Spectra were …

The coalescence of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
prime sources of gravitational waves (GW) for Advanced LIGO/Virgo and future ground …

Mergers of binary neutron stars and black hole–neutron star binaries are among the most
promising sources for ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors and are also high …

The existence of neutron star mergers has been supported since the discovery of the binary
pulsar and the observation of its orbital energy loss, consistent with General Relativity. They …

We present a detailed, three-dimensional hydrodynamic study of the neutrino-driven winds
emerging from the remnant of a neutron star merger. Our simulations are performed with the …

In several GRBs afterglows, rapid temporal decay is observed which is inconsistent with
spherical (isotropic) blast-wave models. In particular, GRB 980519 had the most rapidly …

We present a rapid binary-evolution algorithm that enables modelling of even the most
complex binary systems. In addition to all aspects of single-star evolution, features such as …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRB's), short and intense pulses of low-energy γ rays, have fascinated
astronomers and astrophysicists since their unexpected discovery in the late sixties. During …
